Hi we had an intermittent starting problem. The car would all ways start when it was cold. But as soon as it warmed up and you turned it off and tried to restart it the immobilizer light on the dash would stay flashing and it would not start. Also if the car was left in sun light on a very hot day it would not start. Changing the fuse box has sorted this very annoying intermittent problem.

Wow, the entire fused box? Maybe it was just a relay, what led to that diagnosis. I am glad it is resolved.

Seems like it would have been more of a relay issue than an entire fusebox failure. Was this diagnosed by a dealership or Independent shop?

as a side note, I have run into this a time or two before, and it turned out to be a bad battery, so by all means, when you shut it off, check the voltage. A couple other culprits certainly could be the starter, starter cable, and I guess the fuse box...
